Answer:

It depends.

Step-by-step explanation:

It really depends on your opinion but I would say no because even if it increases then the prices of items will go up with it as well and some people will still be poor or homeless.

I do not believe the minimum wage should be increased like how many politicians are proposing 15 I say no and here’s why an increase in the federal minimum wage will lead to huge inflation in things costing more and in the end it will not double your earnings along with doubling the minimum wage will lead to so many more layoffs and a rise in unemployment because of small business owners not being able to pay their employees in the end it is a burden on the middle class and lower middle class families and it is a burden on them financially it’s the consumer that will have to pay more for example a McDouble will not cost a dollar anymore it might cost 3.50 the argument made by politicians on the minimum wage is a populist idea that appeals to voters and that results in winning their vote
